How to donate housewarming gifts for Peachtree-Pine shelter clients

Two nonprofits are asking the community to donate household starter gifts to 196 people who have recently transitioned from the Peachtree-Pine shelter into permanent housing.

The downtown Atlanta homeless shelter was purchased by Central Atlantic Progress and entered a transition period in late August. The shelter is now fully closed; every resident who accepted assistance was moved into “permanent supportive housing (or) rapid rehousing, depending on their needs and circumstances,” a spokeswoman said Friday.

CAP and Partners for Home, a group that has helped facilitate the transition, are collecting kitchen wares and cleaning supplies for the clients’ new housing. All housing units are located in and around metro Atlanta.
